Mary Catalano Prentiss, passed away August 15, 2015, five days after her 95th birthday. Born August 10th, 1920 but always celebrated on the 11th of August, she was the wife of Wilbur Skillman Prentiss for 39 years. Mr. Prentiss passed April 27th, 1982.

She leaves behind her daughter Patricia Prentiss McCord, son, Michael Catalano Prentiss and wife Cynthia, daughter Nancy Susan Prentiss, son, Charles Timothy Prentiss. She also leaves six grandchildren: Desiree Cavagnaro, Valerie Rorabaugh and husband David, Anthony Prentiss McCord, Scott Prentiss, Megan Prentiss Wekstein and husband Joshua and Irina Prentiss. Two great granddaughters: Jessica Rorabaugh, Haley Rorabaugh and one great, great grandson, Bentley Rorabaugh Eason.

In addition to being a wife and mother, she was a noted and accomplished artist (mostly oil, acrylic, pastels & water color paintings). She won many juried art show awards, her favorite being "First in Show" for "Sandman", a contemporary style multi-medium art work. She was most proud of this award because it was given by the Peale Museum, Baltimore, Maryland and her art work hung in this museum, the first museum built in the Unite States.

She attended All Saints Elementary school, graduated from Mt. St. Agnes High School in Mt. Washington and the Maryland Art Institute in Baltimore, Maryland. Mary was loved for her sweet personality, great humor and enthusiastic love of life. She chose to see beauty and good in all things. Our world is better for having her with us.

Daly at 9 a.m. Saturday, September 12, at the Basilica of St. Paul Catholic Church, 317 Mullally Street, Daytona Beach, FL. Inurnment will take place immediately following at Greenwood Cemetery.
